VISIT WELLAN

Discover the Wellan Difference

We appreciate your interest in Wellan and the time you've taken to learn about us through our website. While this gives you an introduction to our innovative Montessori-Progressive curriculum and dedicated community, to truly understand the unique and nurturing environment we've created, we encourage you to visit our campus and witness the Wellan difference firsthand.

CAMPUS TOUR

What to Expect

Meet With Our Admissions Team:

Share your aspirations and get answers to your questions as we take the time to get to know your family.

 

Experience Our Vibrant Learning Environments: 

Tour our campus and observe a typical school day with your Admissions host. Peek into classrooms, see students engaged with their learning, and interact with members of our community along the way.

 

Gain Resources:

At the end of your visit, you'll receive a folder containing comprehensive information about our school that you can reference whenever you need to. It includes step-by-step instructions on how to apply should you choose to continue the admissions process.

Please Note

Our initial campus visits are tailored for parents, providing a focused and informative experience. We look forward to getting to know your child personally during their own campus visit later in the admissions process. 

ADMISSION EVENTS

Beyond personal tours, we offer various group events throughout the year for you and your family to connect with Wellan. From Open Houses and Virtual Information Sessions to engaging Community Workshops, these events provide opportunities to explore our school further, connect with our community, and gain valuable insights.

2026 Heart and Hand Conference

Heart & Hand is a one-day, in-person conference designed to provide practical tools for fostering children’s emotional and cognitive growth. The name reflects two key principles: the importance of strong relationships (heart) and hands-on, experiential learning (hand). Sessions will focus on real-world strategies for guiding children, particularly ages 15 months to 6 years, in ways that support their independence, confidence, and curiosity.
